The trek was long and arduous, and they had to stop many times. Abraham urged Reginald to tell him when he needed to rest, but he knew his stubborn brother would not do so. Therefor, he dictated when they rested. His young limbs did grow weary with the travel, but the wanderlust and desire for knowledge pushed his feathered hooves further north with each flare of red passion. His heart fluttered with the new sounds and scents, his odd colored eyes taking in the surroundings like a starved dog gnawing at a hare. The colors changed as they traveled until, when it seemed like they had been traveling for years, they stumbled upon the vast and dreary landscape that now fluttered before them like a mirage.

The sun was high in the sky, midday, but the wrathful heat of Tallsun did not grip them here like it did in their meadow. Abraham very much liked the solace that the tundra provided, the patches of snow and ice mixed with hard-packed earth and shrubbery. "Reggie, isn't this place wonderful?" Abraham inquired, curling his neck to look at his twin over his white stained shoulder. Out of the corner of his eye he noticed Loretta. Their father's bitch was their ever-watchful guardian, following carefully at their heels. He remembered father saying that what Loretta saw he could see, but Abraham paid no mind to that. Maybe though, now that he felt so far from home, he understood the threatening undertones in his father's gruff voice. Mother was more frivolous when it came to her warnings, whereas Archibald was firm, but never once did the great stallion tell them not to do something explicitly. Abraham wondered if he wanted his sons to experience the world, just as his scars revealed that he had.

Turning his head away from Reginald again, Abraham puffed up his chest and trotted forward several paces, short tail flicking wildly behind him. Thrusting his small but already uniquely shaped horn into the air the colt left out a small buck, kicking his left hind into the air exuberantly. He felt incredibly indestructible in the new area, void of any horse creatures to make him feel otherwise. Playful, sly eyes fell back on Reginald and Abraham snorted at him. "We can live in a place like this one day." He mused, almost absent mindedly in his child-like wonder.
